Love is in the air!

It is at Cute Daisy May Challenge anyway! It's the first challenge of the new year and Linnie has come up with some fabulous new images to get us off to a great start. This one is from sheet 133 and I had a bit of a fight with myself to decide whether to use the birds or this one first - as you can gather this one won!

I'm not one for making resolutions but I am determined this year to use up some of the stash of card and paper that I could use to stock a shop! We'll see what happens because despite having upmteen drawers of the stuff I had such a job to get designs I liked in colours that went together! Has designing my own made me lazy I wonder?????? Anyway, onto the card - the two smaller bps are K&Co and the larger piece was one I've had in my stash since the crafting year dot I think so can't remember it's origins. The photo doesn't do it justice though, it has a beautiful irridescence to it and is rather less purple than it looks on here. I decided to keep it simple and have edged all the pieces of bp with glitterations peel offs but otherwise have kept embellies to a minimum - bearing in mind that anniversary cards usually go to a man as well as a woman. I've coloured the image with coloursoft pencils.

Hi Ann I loved this one when I first saw it and it is just beautiful that image is gorgeous, I am sorry to say I am not making any New Year resolutions to do with crafting because I know I will fail (I already have lol) I can't help it I just love getting new things lol.HugsLorraine x

Hi Ann another fantastic card to start the year off. I love the image and the layout. I know what you mean about using up scraps I have boxes everywhere bulging with bits and pieces. I suppose we will all have to start thinking about Valentines day soon. Lol!!! Cathy xxxx
